Question

Sebastian needed to buy new tires for his car. The tire shop was running a holiday deal that allowed customers to buy three tires and get the fourth tire for $5. If the total price for all his tires was $237.50, what was the cost of each of the first three tires?(1 point) Responses $59.38 $59.38 $79.17 $79.17 $80.83 $80.83 $77.50

Answer 1

To find the cost of each of the first three tires, we need to first determine the total cost of the four tires, including the fourth tire that costs $5.

Let's assume the cost of each of the first three tires is 'x'.

Since Sebastian bought three tires at the regular price and obtained the fourth tire for $5, the total cost of the four tires can be expressed as:

3x + $5

We know that the total price for all tires was $237.50, so we can set up the following equation:

3x + $5 = $237.50

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of 'x'.

Subtracting $5 from both sides of the equation, we have:

3x = $237.50 - $5
3x = $232.50

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate 'x':

x = $232.50 / 3
x ≈ $77.50

Therefore, the cost of each of the first three tires is approximately $77.50.

Answer 2

Let's calculate the cost of each of the first three tires.

The deal allowed Sebastian to buy three tires and get the fourth tire for $5, which means that the cost of the first three tires is equal to the total price minus $5.

So, the cost of the first three tires is $237.50 - $5 = $232.50.

Since Sebastian bought three tires, the cost of each of the first three tires is $232.50 / 3 = $<<232.5/3=77.50>>77.50.

Therefore, the cost of each of the first three tires is $77.50. Answer: \boxed{77.50}.

Answer 3

To find the cost of each of the first three tires, we need to subtract the cost of the fourth tire from the total price and divide it by 3, since the deal allows customers to buy three tires and get the fourth tire for $5.

Total price - Cost of fourth tire = Cost of three tires
$237.50 - $5 = $232.50

Now we divide the cost of three tires by 3 to find the cost of each tire.

$232.50 / 3 = $77.50

So the cost of each of the first three tires is $77.50.
